this has been a talking point of romney's for a while. i think he wants to show he's tough on spending and he'll get rid of stuff that's unnecessary, even if people like it, but this is just too easy -- >> beating up on big bird? >> no one likes to see you beating up on big bird. this is too easy. my loser for the week, we've been here, jack welsh. apparently it's safe to say that on msnbc. >> he's still a minority, though, he does have the minority. i'm just saying. so i've been going after him too hard. >> okay. but, look, the bigger problem here is that, you know, the problem for the republican isn't some number ticking upward, even if it was some bureaucrat cooking the books. the problem is that people are feeling better about the economy and this number corroborates the optimism we're seeing in polls tick upwards. >> morris, your picks? >> for me, it's the economy, more expansion, more people getting jobs, people feeling good about this economy, feeling good about themselves, that's the winner of the week, the american people, and mo

romney's been talking about conditions. the president and the vice president have said they're coming home 2014. >> why did vice president biden hammer paul ryan tonight on the issue of him requesting stimulus funds for his district? i get that he caught him in a little bit of hypocrisy, but he's not realistically criticizing paul ryan for having asked for funds that the democratic side maintains has worked well? >> here's paul ryan criticizing the stimulus package, how terrible it was, deepening the deficit. then he makes personal requests for his own congressional district. that's a matter of record. i don't think paul ryan looked very good at the end of the day. he believed that stimulus plan was going to create jobs. that's exactly what it did. >> senator, this is ed. i don't know if pressure is the right word or not, but joe biden went in to this debate tonight. he had to accomplish something that maybe wasn't done in last week's debate. you being a veteran of the senate, i know you've known joe for a long time. was th

stop talking about how you care about people. show me something. show me a policy. they talk about this great recession as if it fell out of the sky, like, oh, my goodness, where did it come from? it came from this man voting to put two wars on a credit card. these guys haven't been big on medicare from the beginning. look, folks, use your common sense. who do you trust on this? a man who introduced a bill that would raise it $6,400 a year knowing it and passing it and romney saying he'd sign it or me and the president? >> well, the democratic base if you want to call it that, it means the left i suppose, needed a boost and the vice president certainly delivered it last night with his passionate performance that wouldn't quit for an hour and a half, but firing up the base was only part of the goal. president obama takes the stage against mitt romney again next tuesday. he's going to have to bring more to the debate than just a little bit of excitement. certainly his problem out in colorado may continue again in a second debate. anyway, chris cillizza is managing edi

>>> mitt romney is changing his stump speech. he was talking about a former navy s.e.a.l. who was killed in libya on september 11th. they met casually years ago. her mother says she does not want her son's death to be part of romney's political agenda. the romney campaign confirms he will respect her wishes. mitt romney has another problem, though. google the phrase completely wrong and if you look at the images, this is what comes up. lots of pictureses of mitt romney. a google spokesman told cnn that's just what normal analytics produced because in the aftermath of romney's 47% comments, a few days ago he explained, he was, quote, completely wrong. big bird costuming are flying off shelves. demand for the big yellow bird costume has spiked for halloween. and if you think that's crazy, listen to about this. pizza hut is running a deal daring someone to ask this question at the next town hall style presidential debate. sausage or pepperoni. anybody who does can get a free pizza for life or a check for 15,000 bucks. >> and have you ever looked at your dog and wondered what
